Finding Your Personal Space

Sometimes without even being aware of what we are doing, we physically need to move away from people who we feel unsafe with. Unconsciously, we protect ourselves from harm by surrounding ourselves with a bubble which seems to keep others from coming too close. Only those who we feel safe with, do we allow within our circle. The personal space which we create is unique. For some, this space may be only an arm's length away, but for others it may be much further. The space we create is also the distance that we are able to emit our energy. It's within this area that others may feel discomforted if they come to close. The level of energy which is emitted changes depending on the level of emotion we are experiencing at the time. Trust that our inner spirit guides us in creating a personal space that is unique to who we are. Today, be aware of your personal space. Practice on different people, as to how close can they come before you feel uncomfortable. Once you feel as if they are too close, how soon before they feel the need to move away. The more we become in tuned to our bodies and energy, the more we'll be aware of how other people affect us.
Even hidden away, we can still feel energy...

(I found this buddha head, hidden in the shrubs. It was in a meditative garden, but tucked away from the main path. Although it looked like it was put there by accident, once found it had a very strong presence. I sat for awhile looking at it and felt a quiet sense of peace come over me. I guess who ever placed it there, gave it deep thought. I'm glad that she did.)
